  • Mozilla will open Firefox for Android for more extensions

    Jump

  • It makes less sense since extensions actually ran on Android, e.g. via Nightly and creating your own list of exceptions. Also if you downgrade and install in an old Fennec version, extension will continue to function if you then update to the latest.

    I think the move was an attempt to create a walled garden and paid store. But for whatever reason, they have now decided against it. Thank goodness.

  • My goodness that's awesome. I never understood why they locked it down in the first place about a year ago. What changed?

  • Squabbles, another recent reddit alternative, seems to be taking the doomed "free speech" path

    Jump

  • Judging by the number of downvotes my question received, looks like most people here prefer censorship over expressing ideas.

  • What exactly is wrong with free speech?

  • You can instead, for instance, get a Dell latitude with 32GB i7, for less than $1000. It comes preinstalled with an inferior "OS" (rather sales, telemetry and data harvesting avenue), Windows 11 Pro. But it begs to be wiped and installed Fedora or Arch or some other useful OS, which is easily done.

  • Too expensive though.

  • There are people.

    Linux Desktop Share keeps increasing, 3.13% now. Narrowing the gap to ChromeOs 3.24%

    Jump

  • I don't quite believe it, but hope that the metric is correct and it's indeed accelerating.

    Linux desktop has been ahead of its competitors, both Mac and Windows, for a while now. While Windows keeps getting worse and worse.

    And now all games run on Linux desktop too (except Destiny).

    May be people are slowly realizing and catching on?

  • What game mechanics do you love and hate?

    Jump

  • Destiny did this. I have no idea why people love that game, btw. The guns and the environment are well designed, and the story (if you call it that) teases of science fiction. But that's all the positives about it.

    The secrets are so bad that you need to follow a Youtube guide and would probably never discover them in a lifetime. The raids are a huge chore of completely arbitrary series of mechanics that are never explained. You grind for weapons and they get nerfed. You keep doing the same missions again and again and again. Your trophies that you firmed for in year can just go away without notice. The damned thing does not even run on Linux. The list of ways it is unfun goes on.

  • A story of MATLAB piracy

    Jump

  • This is a case where the class is led by a moron. That person should be reported.

    Piracy for the students was justified because they had no other option. But outside of this school, if I were you and I needed the software again, I'd definitely use Octave without question. (Or Python if I'm willing to learn something new.)

    The point is, if you have free and open source alternatives, use them. You'll be better off.

  • The ESRB wants to start using facial scanning technology to check people's ages

    Jump

  • Should be pretty easy to fake it.

  • Fuck nvidia.

    Jump

  • Never knew there is a script to hook. It works flawlessly since the beginning for me with Arch.

  • Overwatch 2 heads to Steam making it even easier on Steam Deck / Linux

    Jump

  • Damn it. Just when I bit the bullet and bought Diablo 4 on Battlenet. I bet whenever they launch Diablo 4 on Steam, they'll not just transfer my license it to Steam.

    Edit: FWIW I'm using the Battlenet launcher with Lutris, and so far it's far less problematic than Epic. Hasn't yet forgotten my log in and asked for password again like Epic does every few days which is super annoying (pretty sure this is how they operate on Windows also).

  • Limit VRAM in Lutris

  • I also use vsync in even game, never realized any benefit turning it off. Never seen any issues with it. I don't use freesync though.

  • Limit VRAM in Lutris

    Jump

  • Hmm no I have no lags at all. Happy to help any tests on my machine if it helps you to diagnose your issue.

  • The latest versions - DXVK 2.2, lutris-GE-Proton8-10.

  • Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?

    Jump

  • I hate GUI for every little thing. Config files are so much more flexible, shareable, and use friendly because you can edit them with anything and can have much more control.

  • I'm not sure why you say that. I've been using Arch to play triple A games (Control, Diablo 4, Elden Ring, Death Stranding, etc.) with NVidia GPU even (which is known to have proprietary driver and not as tweakable). Never had a single glitch, everything runs like native.
